Hmm, i used to own the defender, and the screen protector never really bothered me that much. If you don't like the responsiveness with the screen protector on, then try the Seidio Active case, it's pretty similar
I put my own protector on and take out the one from otterbox. It works a whole lot better IMO.

I have the defender as well. The harder presses are worth getting used to, as it buys you unsurpassed protection for your LTEVO, and that means good news for you, come resale time.

Most definitely take the defender screen protector off! The visual difference is worlds better! I actually just took my 2nd one off because I received a replacement case. The HD zagg is awesome it looks like you don't have one on at all.

i had a hd zag. mine got all orange peel looking after awhile. i currently have mine in a defender case.as well as did with my 3D . yes a little visual difference in direct lighting. but not enough for me to give up the protection. I bought the sedio case from best buy as there platinum case on launch day. where to start. the first day i couldnt use the camera button without having to mash it in. called sedio complained. they sent a new case. this new case same issue with camera button. but guess what now the volume up & down buttons i had to mash now. so called again. they sent another. took it out the box put it on the device. same ****. save your money. garbage. get the defender leave it do its job & defend your phone.

I disagree. I used to buy the cheap screen protectors of eBay and THOSE are crap. This protector is quality. The only way I can see someone complaining is if they put it on wrong. I truly cannot even tell I have the thing on and i have received no scratches yet. Also I bought the defender and the Zagg for $60 back when I purchased the phone as a bestbuy special.

I bought my original defender only 3 months ago and they have already sent me 2 replacement because my clip broke and the little flap for the charger port snapped off. Your case is destined to break so when it does you will get a new one and then you can keep the protector on if you don't like the outcome of this one. The sun will come out tomorrow!

I hated the thickness and grainy appearance of the built-in anti-glare screen protector on the Defender, so I removed it and installed the Steinheil Ultra Crystal protector instead. World of difference in terms of clarity and sensitivity. Fingerprints are easily wiped away. Some dust does get under the edges of the polycarbonate top shell, but it gets trapped there on top of the screen protector and doesn't penetrate into the actual case.
I have the defender and had the zagg hd . I hate zagg , it feels rubbery and has orange peel and is too thick .. orange peel was ok, but if I get resistance when I'm trying to swipe my finger on the phone its irritating. If you try it with the protector and without you will feel worlds of difference. I have the defender , incipio ngp, and diztronic . I use defender for work in construction . And incipio on the weekends. I am waiting for the steinhiel ultra clear protectors in the mail . For the defender case , you will notice in certain angles it looks like there is water between the screen and the defender clear protector but if you put a thin screen protector on the phone and then put the defender on , it eliminates that problem .
I used to defend InvisibleShield (now the actual company is called Zagg) to the death a year or so back. I've had them literally on EVERY device I've owned. I've even recommended friends to it.
As someone that has done that I'm here to tell you that they are crap. Definitely remove the cover that comes with the case but do not get Zagg. Unless you can get a time machine and get a product from a year ago. They will get orangy and sometimes (they claim this is part of the manufacturing process) you might have horizontal 'lines' across the shield which requires a replacement. Also, they have gotten a LOT more rubbery. The original ones were still a bit rubbery but they felt sleek, the new ones are gross. I grabbed my old iPod nano and my LTE and I touch both protects, the new LTE one is disgusting.
I'm looking for a replacement and looking around the forums and other sites everyone recommends the SGP protectors. The following doesn't matter specifically to the shield but its something worth noting: Zagg's customer service has turned to crap, sure their lifetime warranty is awesome but trying to actually ask about something is horrid. I sent a quick email to SGP asking three simple questions and they replied with THREE FRIGGIN PARAGRAPHS HAND TYPED.
Sorry for the long post just wanted to give some input. Here's the email exchange in case you had the same questions I did:
Me said:
Hello,
I have been an avid user of Zagg screenshields for years now but recently their quality has turned to crap. Horrible customer service, yellow tinting on their protectors and that awful rubber feeling. A lot of my friends and the forum I frequent recommended your screen protectors but I have a few queries.
1. I live in a VERY hot area (Arizona, USA) and I know that your product description says no residue but I would like to confirm if this applies no matter the temperature the screen is at. Please, please please be honest with this
2. My product is an Evo 4G LTE and I know that early on a lot of screenshield makers (including Zagg) did not provide a cut out for the proximity sensor, I'm curious to know whether you have updated your design to have the phone work 100%
3. Which protector should I chose for the best scratch-proofness (oleophobic, crystal or fine)?
Sorry for taking up your time and I look forward to your reply. With Zagg I'm giving up scratch proofness and lifetime warranty. However that is nothing compared to the horrible support and quality of their products. Spigen will have my support for years to come if I get good answers
Thank you,

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen on Amazon.
It is no problem at all! Thank you for your interest in our products. I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions!
Our screen protectors are not affected by the temperature and should not produce a yellowish tint. Our high quality screen protectors are manufactured with a hard coat so that it has a scratch resistance coat. This, however, does not mean that the screen protector is completely scratch proof, but it will not scratch as easily as most other screen protectors. I have been using the Ultra Crystal on my device for over 5 months and have not received a single scratch, despite the many falls my device has endured. Over time, the screen protectors will need to be replaced at one point, but should last on your device for many months without problems or tinting from the sun. If you do have an issue with our product, simply contact us at Amazon support and I would be glad to assist you.
As for the screen protectors. We have the Ultra Crystal, Ultra Oleophobic, and the Ultra Fine (Matte). The Ultra Crystal is a transparent screen protector, and our most popular, as it provides ultimate clarity and protection. The Ultra Oleophobic is almost the same product as the Ultra Crystal but it has an Oleophobic coating on top which provides oil resistance so that fingerprints can be wiped away easily. However, over time, the coating on the Oleophobic screen protector may wear off and would need to be replaced. The Ultra Fine is our matte screen protector. It is anti-fingerprint and will receive the least amount of scratches. However, because it is a matted screen protector, the resolution of your screen may be reduced. Of the three options, I do recommend the Ultra Crystal as it is my personal favorite.
We have also updated the screen protectors to have the cut out for the proximity sensors. We have shipped these updated products to Amazon for their inventory. However, if for whatever reason, you receive the older screen protector without the cut out, simply contact us and we will ship you the updated screen protector right away.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you.

I'm not a fan but want to try another company. I tried Zagg a couple of years ago and it felt like rubber and had orange peel, pulled it off after a day.
In the perfect world I would get one that looks clear, feels like glass and helps with finger prints.
What is your favorite and why?
Thanks
I've tried Zagg and a bunch of others on my Evo 4G. The best one I had was this cheap 99 cent screen protector I got off amazon. Had it on for months with no scratches, and it looked and felt just like glass.

I have ghost armor screen protector on my 3vo and they are the best in my opinion. Every phone I owned I bought ghost armor for them and didn't worry about the screen at all. Lucky for me, there is a ghost armor kiosk here in grapevine Texas so I just go there an they apply it professionally. I suggest it if your in the area.

Boxwave Crystal Clear.
The problem is, Boxwave has been really dragging their feet in getting ANY accessories specific to the 3D. They just finally got a rubberized case for it, but that's it. No screen protectors yet.
I ordered the BodyGuardz HD screen protector. These have anti-glare. Got it last night and it has a 'halo' effect. That is where the edges of the protector are not stuck onto the screen. It is not raised where it can easily become unpeeled. I wrote to BodyGuardz and they are sending me replacements that should work properly, which they claim are die-cut. A different manufacturing process that should work better.
Big plus for their customer support! I will post an update when I get them.

I have always used Zagg until I tried XO Skins. I was going to buy a Zagg for my GTablet, but someone posted the XO Skin for it on sale, so I gave it a try. It is somewhat like the Zagg InvisibleShield, but has that glass like feel with no orange or yellowish tint over time. It is a wet application, but when it cures it looks like nothing is even there. They also have a lifetime warranty just like Zagg, so if anything ever happens, you get a free replacement.

Do they sell any good aftermarket ones at Best Buy or something? I just got my phone today and I want to protect my screen immediately instead of waiting for shipping.

I ordered a 5 pack off eBay for $3 and change. It's shipping from Hong Kong
The 3 pack of screen protectors for the HTC EVO 3D sold in the Sprint retail stores for $14.99 plus applicable sales tax are a perfect fit for the Motorola Photon 4G. IMHO, the Otterbox Defender Series Case is your best protection for it.

I'm currently using the EVO 3D screen protector from the Sprint retail store. It is working well but getting a few scratches. The protectors are definately a bit more than I would like but I wasn't willing to risk scratches to the screen. With my prior EVO i used ghost armor... the sprint sales person said the EVO 3D screens are specifically designed to not interfere with the touch technology.... not sure if I buy it but I was still suckered into spending ...

they dont cover the bottom portion of the screen, sorry fail, scatches have a way to find places that are not covered.
Also the oil/dirt from your finger rubbing will eventually start to lift the edge of the film.
Do you even need one for the Photon since it comes with gorilla glass? It was my understanding that you dont and thats why we here at sprint don't sell screen protectors for them

I actually received mine yesterday (2 days after I ordered it, I'm impressed).
But I have some fitment issues with the skin.
Not sure if it's a bad cut or if they're all like this but it seems it was cut just a hair too wide.
Three out of four corners line up really well, however one goes past the screen by about 1mm.
I've uploaded pictures but I'm not allowed to post outside links at the moment
I've contacted skinomi, waiting to see what they say.
Just got my Skinomi and applied it, everything seemed fine but an hour later i noticed i let some lint, very small string get stuck underneath, DOH! otherwise mine fit snug. regardless of the lint ill keep mine on for now until the BodyGaurdz Kiosk or Invisible Shield kiosk gets in the Photon and ill have them apply a new skin.
Damn after another hour i realized my skinomi fit perfectly, i had no problems with fit, no curling, everything is great except for that damn piece of lint in the middle of the screen, damnit. I guess i will try to block it out of my head that it exists.

From my experience, the area of screen I see most prone and most likely to end up with scratches on it sjjones is the LCD area which the HTC EVO 3D screen protectors completely cover. As I stated as well, the best defense and protection for the Motorola Photon 4G is the Otterbox Defender Series case. Yes, it is the most expensive carrying solution on the market, but it is also the most protective.

Try contacing zagg to see if they'll replace it. I know some of the brands of those kinds of screens have some kind of lifetime warranty.
Although generally they don't cover bad installation, it's still worth a shot.
Well other than the lint and occasional finger nail mark the Skinomi ended up pretty well, its almost exactly like the invisible shield but much cheaper. No bubbles, no peeling. The lint bothers me though; Instead of returning this one which costs you like 4-5 bucks (on their so called warranty). I decided to purchase the carbon fiber skin + screen protector combo they sell and just put a new screen protector on in a cleaner environment.

I'm using seidio ultimate screen guard. I had it on my evo 4g and liked it. I had the zagg on my 3vo at first but it was too sticky for me. The seidio screen guard is a lot smoother and goes on easily with no bubbles. I recommend it.
Boxwave crystal screen protectors
And boom goes the Shooter...
I also have the seidio but my experience with the application was far different. I guess its possible I got a bad one but there were specs on the back which became air bubbles which I can't remove. I have installed many screen protectors like this one but never had this much trouble. Unfortunately Seidio doesn't stand behind these.
On my original Evo 3D device I had a Zagg Invisibleshield on it. But, after I got a new phone I tried a screen protector simlar to the one in the ebay ad above. Although the actual screen protector I'm using now covers the entire screen, is really smooth, and came with a plastic clamshell case (that I'm not using).
The screen protector and plastic clamshell case are made by Beyond Cell.
Goodluck with whatever you choose...
had zagg no smudge protector, then switched to zagg regular. Smudge proof protector made screen look a bit cloudy to me. good luck on your search!

SGP Ultra Crystal are my favorite.
I've tried 4 different brands now, each has had it's own drawback.
Cloudy, gritty feeling, not as clear, some were "rubbery", some peeled up on the edges, one even smudged more than the glass.
In the end, I went back to just the plain screen, none were as ever as nice as the plain glass was.
I'll just have to be careful with my screen.
Just don't use the Sprint's store stock screen protector. The regular (glare) one had WAYYY too much reflection that I couldn't see anything. The non-glare one was a lot easier to read however it def. took away the quality of the screen. White seems to have rainbow crystals in them.
I'm also looking for a new screen protector now.
Why use a screen protector? I never get scratches unless i drop it.
Every screen protector ruins the screen quality more then even some small scratches and the glass on the Evo 3d is even stronger than on my Desire witch still looks great after more than a year with no protection at all.
No screenprotect is the way to go. Best feeling and experience

Try looking for scratched Gorilla Glass. It's all over the web. I had the Bionic for two weeks and scratched the corner. I was very careful with that phone because I knew there was a chance I was going to return it. I have no idea what caused it and don't want it on my new phone.
I have read about the special coating that might be on it to make it easier to clean, maybe that's what's scratched. Either way, it's a scratch.
Its sand or grit in your pocket that does for gorilla glass, not the coin and keys.
Why you don't like skinomi?
i found theìr screen protectors absolutely invisible and even fun to apply!
If you can't find any RAZR screen protector, buy one for iPad or for Galaxy Tab, or anyway something BIG, then cut it for your phone and apply
Anyway, it's true, I've scratched my SGS2's Gorilla Glass. It isn't scratch proof. I've scratched it without SAND or DIAMONDS, it has been scratched passing on my metal "buttons" of my jeans'pocket.
It's only marketing.

I ordered one from Skinomi on Nov 4, they gave me a tracking number on Nov 5, and the status has been "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on November 05, 2011 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date." ever since. I was kinda hoping I'd have it before I got the phone... bah.
So I'm just being super careful until I get the skin. I have a Skinomi on my iPod Touch and it is just great. ZAGG on my DInc, but I prefer the feel of the Skinomi.
Had a skinomi on my epic 4g touch but took it off. It just seems like it takes away from the brightness of the phones display. I agree though that its a better feel than the invisishield.

So I decided to got without a screen protector or a case for the first time on any smartphone I've owned. It's been over a month and my Razr is flawless. I get a lot of oohs and aahs over it also. It really is too slick looking to want to cover it up.
Can I go 19 more months? Don't know. I guess we'll see if someone unlocks this damn thing. Maybe I won't have to worry about scratching it. If I can't throw some ROMs at it, I'll probably have to get rid of it..

Personally, I think screen protectors are overrated and not needed......unless, however you are very prone to bumping, dropping, rubbing your phone up against surfaces.
They dull your screen and diminish the quality as well...it's a downgrade as far as I'm concerned.
Go without the screen protector as you'll be much happier.......unless you fall under my description. LOL
I've never used a screen protector and for the first time got a case...the Cimo S-Line soft case.
I think I'll go for ZAGG
I don't reckomend the ZAGG invisible shield, it is wothless.
The screenprotector is very badley cut so it is mor than 5mm to short in both directions! + it does look pretty ugly around the speaker. It truley suck.
I just ordered my HTC One and am looking for a screen protector.
1) Do you guys think the gorilla glass 2 will hold up on scratches?
2) I'm thinking about playing it safe, so for those of you who have a screen protector, which one would you recommend? SGP?

I decided to get one after seeing my wife's DNA screen get scratched by her keys in her purse. What's up with that, gorilla glass 2? I bought a 3-pack of Lumii Ark protectors for $.99 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BL5N0X2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Just arrived yesterday, haven't applied one yet.
Also thinking about getting a Poetic or Nillkin case to shield that beautiful aluminum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171713)
For what it's worth, the aluminum looks plenty capable of buffing out some reasonable scratches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0kel2d3xGQ&feature=youtu.be
Personally, I'm not using a screen protector but I keep my phone in a sleeve type case from Krusell when it's not in use so that does the trick.
I use cases and screen protectors on all of my devices. My HTC One never saw the light of day before the screen protector went on it. I'm a little OCD like that though.

I use Skinomi tech skin Carbon Fiber skin that came with a screen protector and I'm very very happy with both.

This may only be my experience but I found that the capacitive buttons weren't nearly sensitive and had trouble hitting home+back with an invisible shield (which covers the capacitive buttons). I ended up cutting away the excess which covered the buttons and have seen a huge improvement.
I bought the skinomi full body, but only used it for the back because I didn't like the feel on the front with it, and its not so clear.. but now I have the skinomi on the back, sides, and speaker grill, and a fosmon ultra clear on the front.. the fosmon is a lot better than the skinomi and is very very clear.. I cant even tell that there is a screen protector there..
Ps if you decide to get the skinomi, I used the coupon code 'earthday2013' , and got 60% off of the full body, so it was only $8.. if that coupon doesn't work anymore, there is one for 25% off which is 'get25'

in pouch all the time
my one is in pouch all the time. because i always put it with my key.
I got the $10 3-Pack that all the AT&T stores carry. They are suprisingly good quality. Absolutely no complaints.

I went to three at&t stores yesterday and they all told me they only carry the invisible shield dry for $30!!! I was a little skeptical, but with my luck my One would never stay in it's prestine condition without some kind of protector, so I got it. I have to say it is much better than others give it credit for; it's far greater than all of the "cheapy" screen protectors when it comes to look and feel, lifetime warranty when you register it, and I feel much better knowing that my device won't look like my buddy's horrific note II whose been naked since he purchased it because he bought into all the hype that the gorilla glass II is so incredibly scratch resistant!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Decided to go with the sgp ultra clear screen protector. I have used there protectors before and they are really nice and high quality. Also $14 for 2!? Not bad if you ask me.
